WORDS AND DEEDS: A light bulb goes off.

UPDATE: More on the fierce moral urgency of change:

As a candidate, Barack Obama promised to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” As President, he has not lifted a finger to overturn the ban. This is disappointing. As Hughes notes, public opinion is strongly against the policy, and there is real reason to believe that, if anything, maintaining the exclusion on openly gay servicemen and women compromises our security and defense.

“Just words?” Looks like it.
